If you’ve ever taken the top spot on the leaderboard during a monthly live event or daily challenge in Snake.io, you’ve likely had a surprise visitor: the Boss Snake. They are special enemies that appear during monthly live events and in daily challenges in Snake.io. They are larger than regular snakes and have one mission: to hunt down and eliminate the King Snake — the player currently at the top of the leaderboard. If you want to survive, here’s everything you need to know:
1. Look for Charging Bolts
These are marked with a crosshair symbol on the map. They appear in random locations in the arena. The top player can find the charging bolts by following an arrow.
2. Circle Inside the Bolt
Once you reach a Charging Bolt, circle within the marked area. You’ll see a red bar begin to fill up.
3. Charge to Attack
If you stay within the circle long enough to fully charge the bar, you’ll launch an attack on the Boss Snake, taking out a chunk of its health. The Boss Snake’s life bar is visible at the top of the screen.
4. Repeat to Defeat
One bolt won’t be enough. You’ll need to find and charge multiple bolts throughout the match to whittle down the Boss Snake’s health and eventually defeat it.
During live events and daily challenges, a Boss Snake will appear at regular intervals usually every few minutes. So, whether you’re playing to dominate the leaderboard or just want to see what all the hype is about, defeating a Boss Snake is one of the most thrilling goals in Snake.io. So next time you spot a crosshair, don’t run — charge up, strike back, and take the crown. Play Snake.io now on Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Apple Arcade, Amazon, Nintendo Switch, and Web.
